Rob Gronkowski had a fourth surgery performed on his left forearm Monday at Massachusetts General Hospital.

The surgery yielded good news for the New England Patriots' star tight end as doctors believe that the infection in the arm is gone, according to NFL.com. Gronkowski also had new plates put into his left forearm as well.

Gronkowski originally broke the forearm on Nov. 18 against the Indianapolis Colts, but returned to action at the end of the regular season. He then broke the forearm again in the Patriots' AFC divisional round win over the Houston Texans on Jan. 13.

There is hope that the two-time Pro Bowler could be ready for the start of the team's training camp.

Gronkowski can now turn his attention to his other medical issue, chronic back pain. He plans to see spine specialist Dr. Robert Watkins in about three-to-four weeks to decide if he should have back surgery or not, according to ESPN.com.

For a team that has undergone a major overhaul at wide receiver this offseason, having a trusted target like Gronkowski available for Week 1 would be a huge boost for Tom Brady.
